Landmark Project Rubric Machine www.landmark-project.com/rubric_builder/index.php
This “collaborative rubric toolkit” enables teachers to build effective assessment rubrics and to make them available over the Internet. Many teacher-designed rubrics are available.

Northwest Regional Education Laboratory: Science Inquiry Model www.nwrel.org/msec/science_inq/guides.html
The rubrics available at this site (here, they are called scoring guides) help teachers assess students' performance of the essential traits of science inquiry: connecting, designing, investigating, and constructing meaning. The scoring guides define these traits and provide descriptive criteria for student performance, enabling teachers to give students precise and useful feedback as well as to inform their instructional objectives.
Ready to build a rubric from your learning objectives? Remember, the project objectives require the students to create and use a digital poster. For this example, go to RubiStar (http://rubistar.4teachers.org/), scroll down to the Create a Rubric section, and choose Products.
